About ten days ago Charles Reichs s. Bros,
dealers in animals received two salamanders

cause they are the only ones ever imported to
this country, but on account or their bao repu-

THE sTREET-CAR DRIVERS WEAKEN.
The street-car drivers held meeting yester-
day morning and agreed to call out the names of
streets they crossed hereafter. They
were all opposed to taking upon themselves ad-
ditional duties that properly belong to conduct
ors, but they had received notice that they had
to either obey the order or give up their posi-
TONS and they concluded it would be best to
give in. Those who arrested on Sunday
should have been tried yesterday morning, but
effort made to have them discharged, and
the case was not called. The attorney for the
Company promised that they should never again
cause any trouble if they were allowed to CO.
but the city attorney and Superintendent Travis
objected to any compromise, and the matter
went over until this morning.

The Innocent Kid.

Boston Transcript.
The prettiest thing about childhood, in the
Listeners opinion, is the innocence of its admir-
alton of itself. A little girl of his acquaintance
is n child of marvellous beauty, with the fairest
of compilations. the buest of eyes and mass of
sllken white hair. The universal admiration of
these attributes of hers has neither escaped her
attention nor made her vain.
The other night this fair little Margherita at
tended children's party, ana after the return
home her brother spoke in admiration of little
grill whom he had seen there, and whom he pro-
nounced very nice.
"All little girls are nice," said Margherita,
gravely. .rm nice"
There more vanity in this declaration
than in the protest which the same child made
when it was proposed to bind her hair entirely
within her bonnet one day when she being
sent out of doors to play.
Don't tie it up mamma" she said, 'tbecause
the people that go by won't see my hair, and
they'll be disappointed"

1857 Carrie Pearcy Michigan Mutual Life
Insurance Company. Jasper c. G. Reversed.
Elliott, G. J.-Suit a life insurance policy.
If the general question, in the examination on
his voir dire, fairly arouses the Jurors attention
and directs 1t to the information desired, it is
enough, without specific questions covering
m; ute phases of the subject. The jurors
asked if any of them held policy of insurance
issued by the defendant. One of the jurors had
taken out policy for the benefit of his wife.
The question was relevant and material for tho
purpose Of enabling the plaintiff to intelligently
exercise her right to interpose a peremptory
challenge, and the juror WAS required to answer
as to such policy. although 1t was for the benefit
of the wife. A statement of the juror after the
trial that he was solely influenced by the law
and the evidence, does not remedy the wrong.
There was such misconduct to afford ground
for new trial.
